StarPower

StarPower® participants are eager to discuss the normally taboo topic of power and how it can be used to create trust and commitment instead of distrust, anger and apathy. Learn More.

Experiences that create a thirst for learning

When you put simulations into your curriculum, you establish a new contract with your students as they learn to deal with values, feelings, and use higher order cognitive skills to solve problems and make judgments.

Our Best Sellers for Schools/Charities

BaFá BaFá – Schools/Charities

When participants finish BaFa’BaFa’®, they know what it feels like to be the one person in a group who is different. They understand how easily stereotypes can be developed and what must be done to overcome them.

Rafá Rafá

Rafa’Rafa’ is a simplified version of BaFa’BaFa’ and therefore better suited for younger students.

Power of Leadership

Power of Leadership is a real time, face to face, non-computer based simulation that helps students understand the value and dangers a leader faces when he or she attempts to use the power that goes with a position.

StarPower

When participants finish StarPower®, they’re anxious to talk about the uses and abuses of power and how to best empower and motivate their employees.

More Great Simulations

Where Do You Draw the Line?

Where Do You Draw the Line? helps participants understand the actual principles that most people use to make ethical decisions. We often customize this simulation to target specific ethical issues.

Guns or Butter

Guns or Butter helps students understand current events at a visceral level. It’s one experience for a student to see a news report on North Korea’s plan for nuclear development; it’s quite another to see such a report and be able to feel as though you’ve been through a similar experience and can understand the pressures felt and decisions that leaders made in creating the situation.
